The Bison Bank stablecoin is fully compliant with European MiCA regulation and will be available in Euro (EUB) and US Dollar (USB).
HONG KONG, May 7, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Bison Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bison Capital Holding Company Limited, today announced the launch of the **‘Bison Bank Electronic Token’**. Designed for fast, secure, and transparent international payments and transfers, the **digital** **asset will be issued as two distinct crypto-assets: one referenced to the Euro**, named ‘**EUB**‘, **and another referenced to the US Dollar**, named ‘**USB**‘.
This initiative is in full compliance with the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) Regulation, **the European Union’s legal framework** designed to harmonize crypto-asset regulation and ensure operational security and stability. This move highlights Bison Bank’s deep investment in the digital asset space.
**A Bridge Between Traditional Money and the Digital Future**
In 2022, Bison Bank launched Bison Digital Assets (BDA). Through this subsidiary, Bison Bank enabled clients to access crypto-asset exchange and custody services directly from their bank accounts.
Today, the Bison Bank Electronic Token establishes a new global benchmark for digital money. It fosters innovation while guaranteeing client protection and market stability.
**Meeting Basel Standards for Bank Balance Sheets**
As a MiCA-compliant Electronic Money Token issued by a regulated EU credit institution under ECB supervision, the Bison Bank Electronic Token qualifies for preferential treatment under the Basel Committee’s prudential treatment of cryptoasset exposures (SCO60), effective 1 January 2026. This enables financial institutions in jurisdictions aligned with the Basel Framework to integrate the EMT into their treasury management and balance-sheet treatment with capital requirements aligned to the underlying fiat reference asset.
*"Bison Bank’s goal is to reshape the global financial landscape," states* ***António Henriques, CEO of Bison Bank****. "Our Electronic Money token serves as a secure bridge between traditional money and the digital future — a compliant, fast channel for cross-border payments among institutional partners, merging the reliability of a regulated banking group with the innovation of digital assets."*
**What are Electronic Money Tokens**
An e-money token is the digital equivalent of cash, built on blockchain technology. Each token represents an equivalent value in a traditional currency and is issued by a regulated entity – in this case, Bison Bank – which guarantees that every token is backed 1:1 by real currency reserves. Unlike other crypto-assets, these tokens maintain a stable value, making them a **secure and suitable** medium for payments.
**About Bison Capital**: Bison Capital Holding Company Limited is a Hong Kong-based company focused on strategic investments in the financial sector. Its main asset is a 100% stake in Bison Bank, S.A., a fully licensed European Universal Bank with operations in the crypto assets area. Bison Capital’s strategic rationale consists of establishing a structured network of resources across the different geographies where it has a business-driven presence, with the aim of generating sustained growth and strategic alliances.
**About Bison Bank:** Bison Bank, S.A. is a bank focused on providing a comprehensive and specialized range of Private Banking, Depositary Bank, Corporate Advisory and Digital Assets services to individual and institutional clients. It is leveraged by a strategic link between European and other global markets. It develops its business globally, supported by its strong presence in Europe and its network of international partners.
